Why Is an iPad Cheaper Than an iPhone?
from Phonegram News
Your iPhone fits in your pocket, but it costs way more than a giant iPad. How does that make any sense? It turns out, making tech tiny is ridiculously expensive. Cramming flagship cameras, cellular antennas, water resistance, and an OLED screen into your palm takes insane engineering. An entry-level iPad has room to breathe, so it can recycle older chips, skip the pricey cellular parts, and use cheaper LCD screens. There is also Apple's secret playbook. The base iPad is bait. Apple prices it cheap to hook students and families into the ecosystem. But your iPhone? That is your life. It is your camera, your wallet, your primary computer, and Apple knows you cannot live without it. You are not paying for the glass. You are paying for the magic squeezed inside it.
